Federal pandemic-response packages have provided an unprecedented amount of aid to state and local governments, including $800 billion that can be used flexibly to promote an inclusive recovery. These resources create an unparalleled opportunity for advocates and local decisionmakers to ensure that federal funds reach communities that need them most, close equity gaps exacerbated by the pandemic, and address the root causes of inequities. To take advantage of this opportunity, local leaders need timely data and evidence to ensure funds are used effectively and equitably.
This dashboard aims to track a subset of the federal recovery funds flowing into the City of Chicago, Cook County, and the State of Illinois that can be used for inclusive recovery efforts that align with key priorities of the Chicago Community Trust, reflected in the “policy area” dropdown menu. The dashboard primarily tracks appropriations, or how much funding the the federal government has committed to provide to local jurisdictions. For a few select programs where information is available, the dashboard also explores spending by zip code.
The inclusive recovery funds we track represent a subset of Covid-19 assistance provided by the federal government. The dashboard only reflects funds flowing directly from the federal government to the state of Illinois, Cook County, and the City of Chicago, and does not include funds provided from the federal government directly to public housing authorities, school districts, universities, or nongovernmental organizations, such as non-profits or private sector firms. Information on program allocations will be added as new data become available. For more information on how we identified and tracked these funds, see our Frequently Asked Questions.
This project is a collaboration between The Chicago Community Trust and the Urban Institute. It is supported with a grant from the Kresge Foundation through the Shared Prosperity Partnership.

This dashboard features a selection of federally-funded recovery programs for which detailed information on program spending is available. A program not being in this list does not indicate that the program funds haven’t been spent. We intend to add additional programs to this section over time as data becomes available.
